This book definitely made me laugh out loud more often than I expected.

The future appeals to you? All yours!

"Dreams are liars; if you shit in your bed, that's true."

"In what we have agreed to call "civilization," there resides, undeniably, a diabolic principle man has become conscious of too late, when it was no longer possible to remedy it."

Joyce is really throwing in an extra portion of filthy kinks with this final chapter.

New favorite bit was the extensive info about the "rectal complaint relief" in the protagonist's wife's cupboard.
I have now reached the final chapter of the book and it has zero punctuation. Epic.

According to my read time tracking app, I only have 4hrs left to read. This feels unreal at this point.

When I think Joyce ran out of linguistic ways to fuck with me, he comes up with new obnoxious formatting. lol
The current chapter – possibly the final one? – is literally written like a Q&A. Like reading a filled out test sheet of someone in class answering questions about the story instead of reading the story. Telling before showing to the nth degree. Surely an intentional dig by Joyce in some way. It's crazy. lmao

Less than 100 pages left to go. 🎉

I bear no hate to a living thing,
But I love my country beyond the king.
